Product Reviews:

So I bought two of these fleece sweaters and both are made well and very warm. Style is comfortable and overall as expected. My only dilema is this. In black this fleece fits a bit snug, but pretty close to the average size large. The tag says large and what not. However I also bought the same fleece in Red and this one fits a bit larger almost like it were an extra large, but not quite as big. Still bigger and more roomy than the black. Again, both say large and all the tags seem correct. As for me, I'm pretty much small enough to wear a large, but also big enough to wear an extra large without it looking too huge. So, what am I to do? Do I keep both knowing one is a big more snug while the other is a bit more roomy? Who knows, but if you were to buy two of these that would be the only way to compare the different feels on these two fleece sweaters that are supposed to be identical in every way except the color. I'm keeping both because they are very comfortable, but again my dilema being the odd sizing between the two colors. I'm tempted to e mail columbia on the issue, but not sure what they will say. I may anyway and if so I will update this review later. Enjoy and keep warm...these fleece sweaters will serve you well.

UPDATE: So I returned the smaller size of the black fleece and ordered an extra large one. I got one labeled "L" and fits like the red one which fit more like an extra large fleece. Basically in a nut shell, I'M DONE WITH COLUMBIA. Sizes and quality control cannot be trusted. The sweaters are nice in terms of the fabric, but everyone is making fleeces now. You can get a normally sized fleece at [email protected] and it would probably be more true to the labeled size than gambling on Columbia sizes. Between returning the products, shipping labels, inconvenience, I probably broke even or so had I just bought this retail and picked the size that fit me in person. If you want to gamble on what size you're actually going to get compared to the labeled product and what you actually ordered then by all means keep buying Columbia and figure it out on your own. I'd rate these fleeces at about a 2 stars only because I like the fabric, but its not worth the hassle because Columbia doesn't have their sizes or tags in order. Were these all just one big oops and being pawned off on amazon to clean house, or does Columbia care? Well, glad you asked because I contacted them and their best solution was to order one directly from them instead etc. Really? So if I bought a HONDA from a dealership and the car is all screwed up, then does that mean I have to go to Japan to get it squared away? What's the point? Funny, I used to work for HONDA and they made sure the cars were in order. On the other hand Columbia either cares about the products they are putting their NAME ON, or they don't. From my experience....they don't. You think they are going to issue a recall for these fleeces? NOPE. It's easier to sell them anyway and have people lose money, time, and convenience sending them back and forth to AMAZON because the sizes were screwed up in a factory overseas. I'm surprised Amazon is still selling these with all of the conflicting reviews on the sizing. Sorry COLUMBIA, I own 3 products from you....you're OUT!! No more.
